Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year 2016, from Left: Sue Lowe, Alicia Lowe, A’Driane Nieves, Jane Maynard, Bono, Diana Lamon, Mazelle Etessami, and Carrie Cohen

Let the meninists stand up and cheer
For U2’s much loved balladeer
As well as making pop
He’s shot to the top
Of the list of great women this year.

ATMs may be hit by a cash shortage this weekend if the Garda strike goes ahead

This weekend some will wonder why
The drink links are all running dry
So build up a stash
Of your hard earned cash
Or your barman will soon see you cry.

sperm

An injected male contraceptive has been shown to be almost 100 per cent effective

If you’ve got a date with a chick
Get down to the health centre quick
And soon you’ll give thanks
That you’re now shooting blanks
But you might feel a bit of a prick.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny at the launch of the Federation for Victim Assistance’s new Freephone Number in Buswells Hotel, Dublin yesterday

The Taoiseach has called on the state
To engage in a great massed debate
As he reckons we ain’t
Keen on having the taint
Of a porn avalanche as our fate.

Federico (‘Fede’) Jaime (left) is helped after being bitten by a shark in Maui, Hawai

In Hawaii a rather bright spark
Went out for a surf with a shark
He suffered some harm
To his leg and his arm
But didn’t report on the bark.

Stills from a cancelled  UK Conservative Party General Election video wherein a DUP and a Sinn Féin member become clowns

It’s sad that the Tories turned down
A film that featured a clown
Because clowns are so in
That this bit of spin
Would have been the talk of the town.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the US Presidential Election debate last night

With dignity someone can choose
To stand like a man if they lose
From deep in the pit
You can dig up a shit
Who’ll hint in advance he’ll refuse.
